“My name is Michael Jones and I am a neuromuscular massage therapist. I was severely injured in a bicycle accident in 1988 and was MISDIAGNOSED with an incurable condition with a 35-50 percent permanent disability. Later, I found my condition was from stressed soft tissues that would not respond to any type of therapy.
